Sharp Objects

Sharp Objects is one of my favourite shows to watch and one of my favourite books to read. I recommend this show to anyone who's into beautiful show sceneries flawed by well-written storyline. The soundtrack from the show is also a playlist of good music. I bought the novel from Kinokuniya, and it was a fantastic read.

I love the way the director portrayed the storyline from Camille Preaker's point of view. Her lifestyle is normal (apart from her cutting herself all over her body) but is also interesting to watch. The show is also aesthetic by itself. And I would never have imagined that the show ended with such a plot twist. Gillian Flynn really did a good job writing the story.

Kafka on the Shore

It's been such a long time since I wrote any posts in this blog; and now I finally start to write again. To commemorate on blogging, I've decided to write about Kafka on the Shore.

I just finished reading Kafka on the Shore during last weekend. It's a book that I hear people say good things about but haven't got around to read it until recently. And to be completely honest, I daresay it's a really good book with great storyline. I noticed how clever it was of Murakami to alternate 2 storylines among the chapters to keep the readers hooked.

I know I've previously linked this song to another blog post, but to me, this song strongly correlates to this novel. So I'm going to post this song here again.

There are many movies out there that depict the lives of suicidal people, but for me, not many of them can come close to this one. This movie has a way of making me feel more in depth and understand deeper about how life looks like for these individuals, and more importantly, how the main character of this movie, Kakeru, experienced what made him guilty enough to think about ending his own life.

This movie emphasises a lot on how friendship and support from people in a person's life can help them to put off the idea of suicide and think about continue to live and having a purpose to live. In this movie, the friendship between Naho, Kakeru, Suwa, Takako, Hagita and Azusa is very admirable and strong. Kakeru, in the hardest moments in his life, was truly blessed to have met the other five people that helped him change his life and thinking. Never have I ever watched a movie that reflects on the lives of high schoolers at such an interesting angle, and this movie truly did it.
